2017 Chateau Mouton Rothschild – First Growth Power with Sculpted Grace

The 2017 Chateau Mouton Rothschild demonstrates this First Growth’s ability to craft elegant wines even in a challenging vintage. A pillar of First Growth Bordeaux, Mouton’s distinctive Pauillac character is framed by disciplined tannins and a long, savory finish. The label features artwork by German artist Annette Messager, continuing the château’s decades-long tradition of pairing art with wine.

Tasting Notes

This vintage presents deep aromas of cassis, graphite, and cigar leaf, with secondary notes of cedar, spice, and damp earth. The palate is more restrained than warmer years but impeccably detailed—showing firm structure, fine-grained tannins, and a core of dark fruit and mineral tension. The 2017 Mouton is less flamboyant than some vintages but no less ageworthy, offering clarity and precision that reward patience.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Grown in Pauillac’s deep gravel over limestone soils, the blend typically includes Cabernet Sauvignon as the dominant variety, with Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Aged in 100% new French oak barrels, the wine undergoes meticulous selection and élevage. The estate’s emphasis on vineyard precision and low yields ensures only the finest expression reaches the Grand Vin.

Investment & Collectibility

While the 2017 vintage posed weather challenges across Bordeaux, Mouton’s parcel management and careful harvest timing led to a successful result—one that collectors recognize for its finesse and age potential. The vintage has quietly gained interest as a connoisseur’s choice, rather than a trophy wine. Perfect for your collection if you seek balanced expressions of Bordeaux royalty.

Vintage Insights

The 2017 growing season was marked by spring frost, reducing yields across the region. However, a warm summer followed by a dry, moderate September allowed healthy fruit development for those estates, like Mouton, that managed the earlier setbacks. The result is a wine of definition and classic structure—less opulent than 2015 or 2016 but highly composed and cellar-worthy.

The top 2017 Chateau Mouton Rothschild checks in as 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in new barrels. This rock star of a wine offers stunning notes of chocolately blackcurrants, toasted spice, and espresso roast, as well as loads of classic Pauillac lead pencil shavings and graphite nuances. It's another wine that starts out slowly yet builds incrementally on the palate with full-bodied richness, ripe, polished tannin, no hard edges, and a stunning sense of purity and elegance. Give bottles upwards of a decade and it will evolve for 30 years or more. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: February 2020. Drinking window: 2020 - 2050.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating 97 - 99) The 2017 Mouton Rothschild has one of the highest percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon ever at 90%, with 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Very deep purple-black in color, the nose is already singing of crushed black currants, warm blackberries and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of violets, star anise, cinnamon stick and cloves plus wafts of pencil lead and unsmoked cigars. Medium-bodied, wonderfully delicate yet intense in the mouth (gaining some richness in the mid-palate on my second taste two and a half weeks later), it has super fine-grained, smooth tannins and incredible freshness, finishing very long with tons of tightly wound layers. Wow. This vintage is going to be very long-lived in the cellar! Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Issue date: April 27, 2018. Drinking window: N/A.

Vinous

The 2017 Mouton-Rothschild is lucid in colour, quite deep like the Le Petit Mouton. It has a pixelated bouquet with precise blackberry, raspberry and crushed stone aromas, the oak seamlessly integrated so that the aromatics have unerring focus. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-tinged entry that is actually reminiscent of Latour in many ways. This Mouton-Rothschild is all about finesse and poise, the acidity beautifully judged and with superb tension on the finish. One of the finest Left Bank wines of the vintage, there are few 2017s superior to this. Reviewed by Neal Martin, Issue date: September 2019. Drinking window: 2025 - 2055.
